  • Shenoute Paper Draft
    Mimetic Devotion and Dress in Some Monastic Portraits from the Monastery of Apa Apollo at Bawit* Thelma K. Thomas For the monastery of Apa Apollo at Bawit in Middle Egypt there is good archaeological documentation, a wealth of primary written sources mainly in the form of inscriptions, and a long history of scholarship illuminating both the site and the paintings at the center of this study.1 The archaeological site (figure 1) is extensive, and densely built. The many paintings, usually dated to the sixth and seventh centuries, survive in varying states of preservation from a range of functional contexts, however in this discussion I focus on * I am grateful to Hany Takla for inviting me to present a version of this article at the Twelfth St. Shenouda-UCLA Conference of Coptic Studies in July 2010. I owe thanks as well to Jenn Ball, Betsy Bolman, Jennifer Buoncuore, Mariachiara Giorda, Tom Mathews, and Maged Mikhail. Many of the issues considered here will be addressed more extensively in a book-length study, Dressing Souls, Making Monks: Monastic Habits of the Desert Fathers. 1 The main archaeological publications include: Jean Clédat, Le monastère et la nécropole de Baouit, Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol. 12 (Cairo: Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, 1904); Jean Clédat, Le monastère et la nécropole de Baouit, Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol. 39 (Cairo: Institut français d’archéologie orientale, 1916); Jean Maspéro, “Fouilles executées à Baouit, Notes mises en ordre et éditées par Etienne Drioton,” Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol.

  • The Earliest Christian Monks Inhabited the Desert Land of the Middle East Starting at the End of the Second Century AD
    The earliest Christian monks inhabited the desert land of the Middle East starting at the end of the second century AD. Known as the “Desert Fathers”, they left everything in search of knowing Jesus Christ. They wanted to commit themselves totally (body, soul, mind, and will) to being a disciple of the Lord Jesus with a profound holy zeal moving them to become ever more like Christ. These monks practiced integrity of character in order to remain in the state of constant humility that comes from knowing that they were loved by God. These monks sought most of all to experience union with God in the quiet of the desert and in the silence of their hearts. Here are some stories of these holy men. There once came thieves into an old monk’s cell, and they said to him, “Whatever you have in your cell, we have come to take.” And the monk said, “Take whatever you see, my sons.” So they took whatever they could find in the cell, and went away. But they forgot a little bag that was hidden in the cell. So the old monk picked the bag up, and followed after them, shouting and saying “My sons, you forgot this: take it.” But the robbers, marveling at the patience of the old monk, brought everything back into his cell, and they all did penance, saying one to another, “Truly, this is a man of God.” One of the elders used to say of Lazarus the pauper (see Luke 16:19, 3), “He is not found to have practiced a single virtue.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • The Teachings of St. Anthony the Great
    The Teachings of St. Anthony the Great from the Alphabetical Sayings of the Desert Fathers St. Herman Orthodox Church Littleton, Colorado 16 1. When the holy Abba Anthony lived in the desert 37.He also said, “Nine monks fell away after many he was beset by akedia, and attacked by many labors and were obsessed with spiritual pride, sinful thoughts. He said to God, “Lord, I want to for they put their trust in their own works and be saved, but these thoughts do not leave me being deceived they di not give due heed to the alone; what shall I do in mine affliction? commandment that says, „Ask your father and How can I be saved? A short while afterwards, he will tell you‟ (Deuteronomy 32:7).” when he got up to go out, Anthony saw a man like himself sitting at his work, getting up from 38.And he said this, “If he is able to, a monk ought his work to pray, then sitting down and plaiting a to tell his elders confidently how many steps he rope, then getting up again to pray. It was an takes and how many drops of water he drinks in angel of the Lord sent to correct and reassure his cell, in case he is in error about it.” him. He heard the angel saying to him, “Do this and you will be saved.” At these words, Anthony was filled with joy and courage. He did this, and he was saved. 2.
